Need something fun to make for holiday gifts? Maybe you just want some fun art to fill up some wall space? These decoupage art pieces couldn't be easier to make and the chalky finish painted frames are the perfect way to accentuate your favorite works of art. I'm also going to share with you my fail safe decoupage method which will make sure that all of your images are perfectly flat every time. Have fun!
